Originally I wanted iron sights, with no ears. Great FOV, fairly durable, no parallax. ;) However, this has no magnification and can't be used for medium-distance shooting.
Alternatively I considered Aimpoint with Jpoint on top. But I can't find an aimpoint with 4x magnification, and 3x or 4x separates are both bulky and add weight. My thought is that a 2.5-16x scope with JPoint mounted on the side would give the best compromise from being able to do long-range shooting and short, on a single rifle. However, there are some problems: #1, The jpoint gets a very limited FOV, primarily because of the top scope turret. #2, Scopes are heavy. Any thoughts? EDIT: I just had a crazy idea. I don't know if they make one, but I could put the Jpoint above the top turret. Being higher can't be worse than being high *and* to the side, like the photo I just posted. Just have to make sure I can access the turret. Thoughts? http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactical/catalog/J-Point%20Scope%20Mount.jpg |

Personal preference and all that.
I don't like it mounted that high i prefer the offset mounts. Couple threads u might want to look at. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_18/553492_PIC_Request___Magnified_and_1X_Combos.html http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_13_3/130_Offset_sight_placement_for_3gun.html |

If you like irons and a scope at the same time have you considered offset sights such as these?
KAC sights
